I have this burning desire for a sump/refugium and an easier way to change water. I've been playing around with some ideas and thought I would post my latest "brainstorm" to see if anybody thinks its do-able and or insane. Space is an issue in my place. I'm using the stand that came with my...

I've got some serious questions regarding the results I've been getting from my text kits (Red Sea) during my tank cycling. A little background: About 10 days ago I plopped a large, raw shrimp in my 46 gallon tank with about 40 lbs of live rock that had been sitting at the LFS for quite a...

I know the photo is dreadful but as soon as I took this one and got it loaded on my computer to see that it was in fact dreadful, the little fellow decided to crawl out of sight. From what I have been able to find, my best guess is a lipid (?). (I hope that did it) It's about 1/2-3/4"...

And I thought I had a vauge idea of what I was getting into...Ha! The tank: 47 gallon bowfront (36" Long, 12"wide at ends, 16" center, 16- 18"deep, I forget. The Revised Equipment plan for a Reef with about 9" (?) of fish: Canister Filter: Fluval 304, It's going in the...
